Here we are at Wednesday again, and the weather is definitely changing. Now the clocks have changed the mornings are darker and the evenings a lot longer. Now time for my weekly round up post Ramblings Of A StressedMum – 30/10/2024.

Family
Yesterday I saw my gorgeous granddaughters which is always my happy place. From the moment I walk in the door to the moment I walk out, I am all theirs. The youngest wanted me to do some selfies with her (this is not my speciality). Love this pic of us all even though I am still recovering from the flu virus I have.
It is C’s birthday next week, then two days later the youngest turns 4 and then a couple of weeks after the eldest turns 7. They are growing so fast. I took their presents which somehow we managed to sneak in without them seeing.
Budgies
I have not done a budgie update for a while now. I know some of you have seen on Instagram as it shares automatically from my Facebook page. Pippy and our newest Louie have formed a bond. This has resulted in Pippy nesting and producing her third egg yesterday. Like last time with Snowy C was at work experience so I was home and checking in on her.
We are now waiting to see if we get egg number 4 on Thursday. I got so emotional as Pippy is our first and oldest budgie and I have a close bond with her. As you can see from Louie’s tale he is green and yellow so can not wait to see what colour the babies will be if they hatch.
Christmas
It is that time of year, where we can now start to look towards Christmas. As you know I have been working on my gift guides for a while now.
My first Christmas guide is going live on Friday with my advent calendar guide. I am still waiting on a couple more coming through which I will add too if not here in time.
My other guides will be going live soon after
I hope you have all had a good week
I can totally relate to everything you’ve written here, especially the feeling of being stretched between responsibilities and trying to find time for yourself. It’s so easy to get caught up into the day-to-day rush, and sometimes it feels like there’s no space left to just breathe.
It definitely does feel like that at times, I think it comes with being a mum we do so much more
I am so glad to see that the budgies formed a bond between each other. Love the pic you’ve posted with your granddaughters!
The birds are so funny and it is lovely watching them together. My youngest wanted selfies which you can see I am not great at doing
Oh wow it’s great to see your birds are getting along! Best of luck with your newest egg.
I love watching them, sadly we have lost one egg
A lovely selfie with your grandchildren, it must have been great to see them. I am excited to see when the eggs hatch too, I wonder what colours they will be!
I do love spending time with my grandaughters, which is less now they are at school and we have to stick to school holidays. The youngest wanted to do selfies . We have sadly lost one egg due to the mum getting spooked by one of the other birds
omg the budgies…My heart….I can’t get over the eggs, this might be so exciting to wait for them to hatch, love it.
I know and very stressful, sadly one egg was damaaged as Pippy got freaked yesterday when one of the others was sitting on the box. It led to it being damaged sadly. We are waiting on seeing if another egg is being layed today
hoping to do garden this week
so exciting with your budgies
We had a bit of a drama yesterday when Snowy followed Gizmo to see Louie. Snowy was interested in the nesting box and it put Pippy in protection mode and a bit of a moment when sadly she had a fight with Louie as got spooked and one of the eggs got damaged
Love the photo of you and you and you grand daughters. They look a cheeky pair!
Thank you I am still feeling rough which shows but they are very cheeky the eldest wanted to look like she was eating her sisers head and the youngest kept asking for another one
I am looking forward to your gift guides. And, I am excited for the eggs of the budgie to hatch.
Thank you first is going live tomorrow. We may be down to 2 eggs at the moment after a drama yesterday but may get a new egg layed today
I can’t wait for your gift guide! I hope you have a great week!
Thank you the first is going live tomorrow
I’m so excited to see what happens with the budgies! I was so bummed when they didn’t hatch last time.
We are as well this is our eldest budgie laying this time, although a drama yesterday that may mean we have just two eggs but pips is still keeping it warm. Now to see if we get another layed today
I’m so excited for your gift guides! You always have the best ideas.
Thank you I do love gift guides
Budgie eggs! I hope they hatch this time! I’m so excited to see what happens!
I know my little pip is doing so well
